Custom Automation Down to the Details
Mistakes are never an option for your production line. To ensure consistency and quality, you need fixtures and tooling as precise and accurate as the automation systems they work with or are installed within. Even one slightly askew or small missing component could radically alter the outcome of your machine’s functionality and quality.
At Melton Machine & Control Company, we are experienced designers, engineers, builders, and installers of consistent, repeatable fixtures and tooling. Using CAD models, we ensure every component's design fit and function, whether we’re working with a customer-supplied machine or one of our custom automation systems.
With more than 100 years of combined experience in tooling design, we can help you achieve the two most important automatic welding cell functions: consistent, repeatable part locating and consistent, repeatable sub-assembly part quality.
Our Advanced Fixtures & Tooling Technology
Our fixtures and tooling capabilities are flexible and versatile. We can tailor our solutions to a specific process or adjust them to be interchangeable between multiple processes.
As long-standing industry leaders, we’re well-versed in the production line challenges your company faces that could be resolved with proper fixtures and tooling. That’s why we go beyond the basics to craft deeper solutions, such as proprietary methods for quick-change tooling to reduce downtime during product changeover.
Let our team design your tooling and fixtures and experience a more consistent, repeatable welding process than ever before. Our fixture and tooling solutions include:
Fixtures & Tooling for High-Volume Production
At Melton, “custom” isn’t just a buzzword. When you need automation solutions for high-volume applications (more than 100,000 parts produced per year) designed specifically for your unique production line applications, you get them. And that includes all the high-volume fixtures and tooling you might want to add to your robotic welding machines.
Fixtures & Tooling for Medium Volume Production
Automation is highly valuable for your production line, but we recognize that while it is a worthwhile investment, it’s an investment all the same. Every automation project has a budget, and with our low-cost fixtures and tooling for low-volume production offerings, you still can get the automated components you need, without sacrificing more expensive, more custom aspects in another part of the design or integration of your automation system.

You Need Excellent Fixtures & Tooling. Why Choose Melton?
Our clients have chosen to work with us time and time again for one main reason. It’s not our unmatched industry experience. It’s not our expertise in automation. It’s not even our ability to customize systems down to the smallest component. It’s our relentless dedication. Some customers even become long-term partners with equipment still running on their floor 20 years after the initial delivery.
At Melton, we take on your goals as our own. Our team doesn’t stop working until your automation machines work for your business to the best of their ability. From design to development to integration and ongoing maintenance, we become an automation partner for the entire lifespan of your automated production systems, because we recognize that our solutions are only as good as the results they help you achieve.
